Good afternoon. The last time another NL West team won the World Series, Barry Bonds and Rich Aurilia combined for as many homers as a typical Giants team of today. You don't have to worry for the rest of the postseason. There, there. There, there.
Which means we have to find things to talk about.
Uh ...
Alright, I'll start. Here are some spray charts from FanGraphs. My hypothesis is that the Giants are nearly impossible to shift against, and considering that the shift is one possible reason for depressed scoring, this might be a reason why the Giants were so successful offensively.
